The three of them walked into the second palace. In the center of the palace were five large chests. The three of them opened the chests and found that they were filled with gold, silver, jewelry, ancient paintings, and bronze utensils.
"Why don't we leave this here first? Should I bring it with me when I go out?"
Zhang Qishan asked Xiang Qian and Er Yuehong for their opinions, and the two of them agreed.
The three of them walked around the boxes filled with gold, silver, and jewelry and headed towards the third palace.
After passing through the second palace, the three of them came to the third palace. Two teams of terracotta soldiers stood at the stone steps of the palace. One team had eight people, and the two teams had a total of sixteen terracotta soldiers. In front of the terracotta soldiers stood a terracotta general dressed in armor and holding a sword.
"There are too many terracotta soldiers this time. There's also a terracotta general that looks even more powerful.”
Er Yuehong knew about Xiang Qian's situation, so he suggested to the two of them. He was afraid that Xiang Qian would charge up first and suffer a loss.
"Good!"
"Sure!"
Xiang Qian knew that this was Er Yuehong's good intentions, so he did not insist on going up to practice.
Zhang Qishan didn't have any objections. He wanted to find out the truth about this ancient tomb as soon as possible so that he could bring the harvest back to Changsha City. After all, he was the guard of Changsha City and couldn't leave for too long, especially now that it was a critical period. Today, he met the spy of the Japanese pirate merchant association in the tomb. Who knew what would happen after a long time.
The three of them reached an agreement. Zhang Qishan and Eryue Hong activated their bloodline power and charged at the two teams of terracotta soldiers in front of the palace door with their sabers.
As soon as the three of them got close, ghost flames appeared in the terracotta soldier's empty eyes.
"Swoosh!"
The sixteen terracotta soldiers all aimed their spears at the three of them. The three of them were not afraid and went up to chop them.
After about ten minutes, the three of them finally finished off all the terracotta soldiers together. There was only one terracotta general left in front of them.
The three of them rested for a while, looked at each other, and nodded. Then, they attacked the general terracotta from three directions.
The terracotta general came to life when the three of them stepped onto the stone steps. He looked at the terracotta soldier that was standing still and shouted loudly.
"Hey! You killed my soldiers and barged into the king's palace. Aren't you going to surrender?!”
The three of them stopped in their tracks.
"D * mn, this guy can see? You can even talk?"
Xiang Qian said to Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong in surprise.
"Why do you care so much? Who cares if he can see or talk? Just kill him!”
Because Zhang Qishan had opened his bloodline power, his emotions were more or less affected by the ancient ferocious beast. His words carried a murderous aura. One had to know that Zhang Qishan's bloodline power was one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, the Qiong Qi. The Qiong Qi was one of the four most ferocious beasts in the world, and its murderous aura was not ordinary.
Zhang Qishan took the lead and charged forward. Xiang Qian and Er Yuehong also continued to attack the general terracotta soldier.
The terracotta general was indeed extraordinary and powerful. Facing the attacks of the three of them, he did not fall into a disadvantage at all.
After more than twenty minutes, as Xiang Qian's actual combat experience increased, the three of them finally gradually gained the upper hand.
Xiang Qian seized the moment when the terracotta general parried Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong's attacks and jumped up from the terracotta general's back. He extended his left hand over the terracotta general's head and stuck two fingers into its eyes. The ghost fire in its eyes extinguished and it stopped moving.
"Hu hu hu! This terracotta general is really powerful. It took the three of us such a long time to deal with it.”
After dealing with the general terracotta, the three of them sat on the stone steps. In order to be in a better state to face the upcoming unexpected situation, they decided to rest for a while before continuing to enter the palace.
The three of them rested for a while, then stood up and carefully stepped into the palace.
In the center of the palace sat a group of stone figurines dressed like civil officials and generals. At the top of the palace sat a man in a king's robe. He should be the owner of this ancient tomb, the king of a country during the Warring States Period.
In front of the king was a short table. On the table was a sword and a few rolls of animal skin. On both sides of the table were two stone figurines dressed like palace maids. One of them was holding a stone wine pot and was pouring wine. The other was holding a stone fan and was fanning himself.
Just as Xiang Qian and the other two were about to pass through the center of the hall, the system's mission notification sounded in Xiang Qian's mind.
Ding!" Side mission released: Host, please kill the tomb guardian python and obtain its inner core. [Mission completion reward: A divine weapon and a set of martial arts techniques.]”
Xiang Qian stopped in his tracks and stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong.
"Wait, everyone be careful! I feel that there are even more powerful tomb guards here. It's impossible for such a grand ancient tomb to only have so little tomb guards, right?!”
As soon as Xiang Qian finished speaking, a huge black python crawled out from behind the screen behind the King.
The python crawled out and revealed its full appearance. Its head was the size of a small car, and its body was more than a meter thick and more than ten meters long.
The python coiled its body, raised its head, and spat out its tongue. It looked at the three of them with its lantern-sized eyes that were devoid of emotion and revealed a fierce glint.
"Hiss! How did such a huge black python survive in this tomb?”
Although there was a system notification, the black python's size still made Xiang Qian suck in a breath of cold air.
"This is a tomb guardian beast. Generally, large ancient tombs will have this kind of tomb guardian beast. Some are snakes, some are pythons, some are foxes, and so on. They usually eat the food, fruits, and even the people who were buried with them and the craftsmen who built the tomb to survive.”
Er Yuehong explained to Xiang Qian.
"Cut the crap, let's go!"
Zhang Qishan didn't waste any time. He activated his bloodline power and rushed forward.
Er Yuehong also activated his bloodline power and rushed forward. When Xiang Qian saw that the two of them had rushed forward, he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and swallowed his saliva. He shouted and rushed forward as well.
They did not know if this python was an ordinary species of python. Although it looked huge, it was not powerful at all. The three of them fought with the python for a while. Xiang Qian slashed at the python's seven-inch area. The python felt pain and turned around to bite Xiang Qian.
Xiang Qian dodged the python head's attack. Taking advantage of the python head's turn to attack Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong, Xiang Qian went forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword that was stabbed into the python's body, pulling it horizontally with force.
"Damn it!"
Xiang Qian cut a big hole that was more than one meter long and half a meter deep on the python's body. The python's intestines flowed all over the ground.
"Roar!"
The python let out a loud cry and fell to the ground.
The three of them retreated and stood together, carefully staring at the dying python that was constantly twisting its body.
A few minutes later, the python finally stopped moving.
Xiang Qian picked up a piece of broken stone from the ground that had been broken by the python's tail and threw it at the python's head.
The three of them made sure that the python, which had been hit in the head by the stone, did not react. Only then did they carefully walk towards the upper part of the hall where the king was sitting.
